Fasttext: python : enable batch predictions for predict and predict-prob options

[davidswaven]

predict and predict-prob options of the fasttext binary can have a file name or stdin as input,
it would be great to be able to have in the python library the following methods in the supervised model objet

• predict_file : to get the (k) predictions of an input file
• predict_prob_file : to get the (k) predictions of an input with the probabilities

Hello @davidswaven,

Thank you for your post. I just landed an extension to predict that also accepts a list of strings (but not a path to a file). You can feed this function batches of text and it should help you speed up your code a bit. Let me know how this works out.

Thanks,
Christian
